    摘要: A split-gate transistor having high coupling for use in flash memory, EPROMs, and EEPROMs. The transistor has a U-shaped floating gate and a U-shaped control gate, thereby significantly increasing the surface area of the gates and increasing the voltage coupling ratio. The high coupling permits the operation voltage to be reduced while increasing operation speed, and the configuration of the transistor gates allows their use in high density arrays without sacrificing speed or degrading operations. A process for forming such transistors is also disclosed, wherein a polysilicon layer is deposited and then etched so that nitride and polysilicon spacers may be formed in between portions of polysilicon which are then etched to form floating gates. The nitride portion of the spacers is removed, and then the dielectric and control gate layers are formed on the floating gates to yield an array of split-gate transistors.

    摘要: A method for forming a semiconductor device comprises forming a layer to be etched, then forming a hard mask layer over the layer to be etched. The hard mask is etched to form an opening defined by first and second cross-sectional sidewalls in the hard mask layer. In one embodiment, the opening in the hard mask layer is formed at the minimum limits allowable by optical lithography. A conformal spacer layer is formed over the hard mask layer and on the sidewalls of the hard mask, then spacer etched to form first and second cross-sectional spacers along the first and second sidewalls in the patterned hard mask layer. The hard mask and spacers are preferably formed from amorphous carbon. The layer to be etched is etched using the hard mask layer and the spacers as a pattern, then the hard mask layer and spacers are removed.

    摘要: Spacers in a pitch multiplication process are formed without performing a spacer etch. Rather, the mandrels are formed over a substrate and then the sides of the mandrels are reacted, e.g., in an oxidization, nitridation, or silicidation step, to form a material that can be selectively removed relative to the unreacted portions of the mandrel. The unreacted portions are selectively removed to leave a pattern of free-standing spacers. The free-standing spacers can serve as a mask for subsequent processing steps, such as etching the substrate.

    摘要: Some embodiments include electrical interconnects. The interconnects may contain laminate structures having a graphene region sandwiched between non-graphene regions. In some embodiments the graphene and non-graphene regions may be nested within one another. In some embodiments an electrically insulative material may be over an upper surface of the laminate structure, and an opening may extend through the insulative material to a portion of the laminate structure. Electrically conductive material may be within the opening and in electrical contact with at least one of the non-graphene regions of the laminate structure. Some embodiments include methods of forming electrical interconnects in which non-graphene material and graphene are alternately formed within a trench to form nested non-graphene and graphene regions.
